This map is based on our research. We have checked its accuracy to Level 3 ecoregions. Although this plant occurs somewhere in each of these regions, it may only occur in a small part of some or all of them.

↑Notes

We marked the new population of this species in Western Massachussets as "Expanded" but this was a difficult judgment call, and it could have as well been marked "Introduced", because it probably was established from garden escapes, and because this species is uncommon towards the closest portion of its range, which is separated by some distance.
